I really want to do more than one pull up. I set this goal for two reasons:

1.) I have to be able to the first on, don’t I? Also I have read that most people are able to quickly increase from the first one.

2.) I am trying to use the 43T goals that are being pursued by as many other people as possible. Its part of my 43T experiment. I am curious to see what will happen if I put some effort and thought into 43T

My real goal is to be able to do 6+ chin ups after having done 49+ puch ups in 2 minutes, followed by 59+ situps in two minutes.

In other words I want to pass the US Army Ranger Physical Fitness Test (minus the run) The cartilage is almost gone in my knees and left hip – so running is out!

Here are the standards for the Ranger PT test:

Push-ups – 49+
Sit-ups – 59+
Chin ups – 6+
2 mile run in running shoes in 15:12 minutes or less
